The Tennessee Weather Service
furnishes the following data con-
cerning the effect of the weather on
the various crops during the week
ending August y, 1887: %
S M Ts1 RAINFALL.
Until the both the rainfall was
very light and local In character.
only a few stations reporting any.
The heaviest rain of the week was
l.8l inch, reported at Ashwood,
Maury county. The rain of the 26th
was pretty general in the Middle
division, and had a very beneficial
effect on growing crops, such az
potatoes, turnips and late corn, also
on pastul es.
TEMPERATURE.
The long continued hot spell was
broken ON the 23d by decided fall
In temperature, which has, since
that time, been rather below the
average, and favorable to crops ex-
cept cotton.
SUNSHINE.
During the early part of the week
the percentage of sunshine was
above the average, but the latter part
has shown only an average amount.
CONDITION OF CROPS.
The general condition OF crops
has improved slightly, owing to the
favorable conditions of the weather
during the latter part of the week.
Early corn is too far matured to be
much benefited by the rain, but the
late crop may be improved, In
many localities farmers are cutting
and shocking their corn TO get the
benefit of the fodder. The drouth
seriously cut off the cropAin many
places at least one halfA-but IL seems
chat in many counties the drouth
was confined to certain localities,
while in the more favored districts
the crops are very fine and plenty
will be made to supply the demand.
This is true OF most of the counties
of the Central Basin. Along lower
Duck river the drouth Is said to have
b zen the worst ever known Cotton
has su fered much In some sections.
In many portions of the Western
division the crop is cut ots-,some
estimate one-third, Others one half.
In some of the lower counties
notably, Madison, Fayette, Tipton
and Shell ~, the crop is materially
shortened, The recent cool nights
have caused much shedding of
squares. Picking is progressing
rapidly. Rust is iniuring the crop in
some counties. In the Eastern
division and i'm some portions of the
Middle, the crop is reported in fair
condition and opening well, and at
least two weeks in advance. Plow-
ing for wheat sowing has been much
delayed by the drouth, which has
also retarded the sowing and germi-
nation of turnips. The condition of
tobacco is generally unfav0rable,
though in some sections, owing to
the late rains, the crop is doing well.

Poison Oak.

Last Sunday, while at Mr.. T. f.
Hudson's, the great hay and carp
man, who Is perhaps better known
than any farmer in the State, we mo-
ticed that his son, Dewitt, seemed to
be skinning off at the hands. Mr..
HI. called the little fellow to him and
showed us how the skin, even on the
palms of his hands, was coming off
In flakes and new skin, appearing
underneath. He explained that sew
eral years ago the child was badly
poisoned with poison oak, and
every spring ne broke out and sui
fered greatly. He had applied every
known remedy to relieve the sufferer,
and employed physicians to attend
him, but with no avail. "In fact, Mr..
HUDSON continued, "it seemed like
to go in sight of a poison oak vine
would cause the eruptions to break
out afresh. After trying everything
else, / read in the Banner Watch
man so much about the S. S. s. blood
medicine that / determined to try
that also, but must confess that /
had hut little hope in it. But, as
you see, its success has been wonder
full. 1t has driven every particle of
the poison from my child's system,
and is now putting new skin on
him. He is thoroughly cured and
the s. S. S. did the good work. / be-
lieve that it will drive out any kind
of poison from the blood, and its ef-
feet on Dewitt proves it. There are
great many sufferers from poison
oak in the country, and to such / can
knowingly recommend this great
medicine. 1t not only effects a GER
tain cure, but seems to put fresh life
| into one. AW h9la fnH
This is only one of the numerous
Endorsements of S. S. S. that has
reached us, and we publish it as in
formation to those who are suffering
with poison in their system, it mat
ters not from what source it comes.
This discovery in regard to curing
the effects of poison oak is of great
Importance, as it gives certain rem
edy for a most common and aggrava-
ting affiiction, for which no perma-
nent relief had ever been known
The s s. S. is certain the king o1
blood medicine, and is as harmless as
it is solvent for the eradication of i'm
pure blood from the SYSTEM Aiken,

MURDER WILL OUT.


Minneapolis special: The twelfth Juror
in the trial of Barrett for the murder OF
Street Car Driver Tollefsen was secured
late yesterday and the trial begun today.
The prosecution in opening told how the
J three Barretts-Peter, Tim and Henry
I left Henry Barrett's house on Fort ave-
nue., went up town to see the big Boston
clothing store fire, watched itawhile and
returned ON a Cedar avenue ear; how
they put plank across the track near
the Hastings and Dakota crossing, but
not having the nerve to attack the driver,
MeKennon, whose car was the first to
strike the plank, how they afterwards APP
preached Driver Tollefsen, demanded
| his money l1x and were denied it; how
Peter Barrett, with 30 calibre revolver,
shot Tollefsea IN the leg, followed few
| seconds later, and after a struggle, by
/ Tim Barrett, armed with 3S-callhre
Smith X Wesson revolver, shooting the
driver in the breast and leaving him
| dead upon the car. "Ihe murderers,
continued Mr. Jamison, Escaped into
the darkness of Layman's cemetery, flee
ing from the dead into the very pres
enee of death. The murderers recroSsed
Lake street, went to their home on First
| avenue and slept assembly as if they had
not committed one of the most cold
hlooded and cowardly murders heard of.
The cash box was torn open and most OF
the tickets were put in hole under the
house. Some of the tickets were thrown
outside the house: some of them, with
the box, were thrown into Mud lake.
The recital was quite graphic 1t was
the first official intimation OF, what had
been discovered.
Reddy Barrett was ON the stand NIL
the morning and lie told the story of the
murder. He said that on the night of
the murder he went up town with his
two brothers When they came Lack
they first placed a plank ON the line and
threw off car, but they were afraid to
rob the driver. Then they met Toilet
sen driving the next car opposite Lay
mans cemetery. Tim stopped the car
Iollefsen grabbed both Pete and Tim,
They tried to get away but could not.
Then Pete fired low and ran away.
Then Tim fired and joined them in the
cemetery.
He said: 81 killed him! killed him!
| shot him through the head"
Then the boys went home. Tim had
the drivers cash box. He took the
money. They buried the box in the
cellar. Two days after they cut it in
pieces and took it ont to Mud lake
where they distributed it and the
checl S.
Reday also testified that few days
after the murder Tim filed a notch in
his revolver saying at the time that it
was the first man lie had killed in Mia
neapolis. He proposed to have more of
them.
Reddy put the blame for the whole
bad business upon his mother who, he
SAYS, educated the boys mp in crooked
ways He said she was worth thousands
and all OF it was the fruits of her boy
crimes. He was seemingly very much
overcome by the part he had played in
the tragedy and said for his wife's sake
lie had determined to make clean
breast of ii.
